Charyl, do you think this could be done in a crockpot as opposed to the oven? It looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteNo. Here's why. In a crock pot, you have no control over the temp, so your roast will simply slow cook, and will be tender, but it will not be pink in the middle.
ReplyDeleteI showed this to H tonight and I'm sure it'll appear on our menu in the next week.
ReplyDeleteThis really is delicious. Please do not skip the salting step. That's what makes this meat exceptional. I tried this recipe because Albertson's had Eye of Round on sale for BOGO. I'd never made it before, was sure glad that I tried it.
